The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for Forest Manor Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Forest Manor Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.929 for Forest Manor Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 196 Ratings = 4.929
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Forest Manor Nursing Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 8 Target = 0.750
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Forest Manor Nursing Home has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.679) from 17 Reviews

My brother has been a resident of Forest Manor for a number of years and is included as part of the family. We have a day out together every week which we enjoy, however, I have no reservations in leaving my brother in the warm, friendly and capable hands of all the staff employed. Thank you for the opportunity for me to express my thanks in this review, I cannot praise them enough.

The care that my mother is given is excellent, the staff in all departments are excellent. The care staff deliver wonderful care and take time to speak to families making us aware if any problems arise.
My mum remains well due to the nursing team reacting to any symptoms quickly.
My family all recommend Forest Manor to all friends that are looking for a nursing home.

As my Dad has been seriously ill over the last few months and after returning from hospital, the staff at Forest Manor have been fantastic and supportive with Dad and family. The staff have made fantastic efforts to get Dad to eat and drink and have enabled Dad to get on the road to recovery.

Dad is well looked after at Forest Manor Nursing Home. Excellent choice of food and the Sunday roast is great. Dad has been a smoker for many years and he is able to still enjoy this as there is a smoking area which makes him happy.

My grandmother is a resident at Forest Manor Nursing Home and when I visit there is always plenty of staff to attend to my grandmother.
My grandmother has been very ill this year but thanks to Forest Manor staff she was encouraged with drink and diet and no longer suffers from continuous water infections they pick up on things early.

My Mother came into Forest Manor, following a bad experience at another nursing home. I came to visit this nursing home manager and was immediately impressed and reassured my Mother would be looked after excellently well and this was to be the case. My Mother is very happy here (she is very hard to please!) she enjoys the company and her daily newspapers, delivered to her, and always having her hair done weekly.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by J J (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 7 November 2016. Relates to October 2016.
I had to make a life-changing decision to choose a permanent home for my Mum. The decision was a heavy burden as Mum was unable to give me input. When I chose Forest Manor I felt it shone out particularly with the staff. The Manager and a nurse assessed Mum and they really impressed Mum. A weight was lifted. When Mum was eventually transferred the staff were outstanding in friendliness and very warm. They put Mum at ease immediately. This is not a job to us, it is a life changing moment and I cannot thank the staff enough for their genuine care. It is extremely well managed and Mom is settling in nicely. She said, "you have chosen well".

My friend was close to death I was very worried. Thanks to the love the staff gave him he is back to his "old ways" In biblical terms, it is a miracle.
Myself and his family will always be in your debt.

During the six weeks my mother has been at Forest Manor I have found the care she has received to be excellent. Both staff and management have been friendly and caring. Nothing too much trouble for them. The home was recommended to us and will also be recommended by us to others.
